4.0 with the drop of ps3 changes that could be added?

[Lewtskie]

1.0 won't exist for a very long time, if ever. There are several reasons as to why, like maybe one of them explicitly because of the ps3. You want higher res models? Take to SE about giving the XIV team some proper equipment. The Butts issues is also not a ps3 issue. It was an issue where very detailed 3d modeling is a god damned nightmare for a game where hundreds of models can be on screen performing individual movements.

Emote overhaul is not an issue, entirely possible, those animations were just from the old models and whether were placeholders or actual decisions is undetermined. That said, it is extremely low priority, as is most things already in the game, as it would take sizeable development time to break down animations and spruce them up.

Sliders goes right back to character model issues. They dont have the hardware to manage fully unique 3d models efficiently and to do so would require greater upgrades to what they have and possibly a new engine. This is sorta why really exaggerated facial animations you see in cutscenes look like something from gary's mod.

These weren't even really ps3 limitations, these have been "Our equipment sucks, and the average playerbase aren't all playing on titans to compensate." Until they do get better equipment and improve the engine enough, none of these arepossible without putting a burden on anyone playing the game.
